Abstract

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) with the configuration of lift type rotor under the influences of Omni-Directional Guide Vanes (ODGV) and Curved ODGV (CODGV) are investigated at a different range of TSR to analyze its performance. Numerical simulation of the turbine is performed with dynamic mesh in a two-dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The numerical output parameters are evaluated, compared and analyzed. The optimized angles for incoming wind with vanes are determined as β = 55° and α = 20° using Response Surface Method (RSM). The advantage of the modern statistical tool for optimization is proved the huge reduction of the computational cost from 208 simulations to 15 simulations. The CODGV improves the operating TSR from 1.5 to 3, compare to ODGV from 2 to 2.8. It is found that the improvement of starting torque and efficiency with ODGV and no ODGV are significant.
